Misguided Behavior During Pledge

It appears to me that she has a beef with our government's actions. Nowhere in the Pledge of Allegiance is she required to pledge allegiance to our government. If that were the case, then I might be joining Ms. Schlag on the several occasions in which I disagreed with some of my government's actions. What I am pledging allegiance to is my country, the United States of America, and to the Republic.

I agree with Mark Twain who is credited with saying "loyalty to the nation all the time, loyalty to the government when it deserves it." I hope that Ms. Schlag, when next given the privilege to pledge her allegiance to her country, will do so, knowing full well that she is not giving up her right to publicly and peacefully disagree with her government's behavior.
